Hello all,
My wife just bought an 01 Avalon last night and she really loves it. I don't know too much about the Avalons, but from what I gather they are very good cars.

I do have a question... I need to install her XM rcvr in the Avalon. Is there an interior power drop I can plug into?

Sorry that I can't answer your question but I did want to welcome you to the group

How do you like your GP/GTP? I've been waiting to go see the new GP if and when they ever decide to release it. I believe it was originally suppose to be released in April but my local dealer has not heard when it will be released.

Thanks, maybe I'll just try splicing into the cig lighter. That seems to be a common place.
I love my GTP. As for the new ones, if you're talking about the GXP's, they're already out. They're just hard to find. I was looking around the dealers here in Austin, but none of them had one. I met up with a guy that bought one and wow. The V8 really puts a kick in your pants. They have an odd tire size, 255's up front and 225's in the rear. No rotating tires for this car.

WHAT UP!!!
I heard you got an Avalon.
What year is yours? How do you like it so far?

PimpinInAvalon · 06-24-2005, 08:48 AM

yeah no more gtp....we got a 95 avalon xls.it has 84,000 miles on her now. its actually a cool car...everyone calls it a pimp mobile since it looks like the lexus. did you get the xl or xls? have you heard from chris lately?

Austin GTP · 06-24-2005, 09:43 AM

The wife got the XL, but it's as loaded as an XL gets.

I saw Chris last month, I swapped hoods with him...

Bunthy · 06-24-2005, 11:14 AM

hmm...those rims you got, are they factory? cause they look alot liek mines:

Here are mines. Its from a gs300. 16" 205/55/16 kumho ecsta 716 hp4

Anyways your ava is lookign good!

Austin GTP · 06-24-2005, 12:20 PM

I'm not sure if they're factory or not. I think they are even 15" rims. Did the Av come with 15's? I thought they came with 16's.
I really haven't had time to get a real good look at the car. I've had family down and they've been taking up all of my time, but they are now gone and tonight I'm giving the car a real good once over. I want to get her XM installed and clean under the hood. Appearently dealerships no longer clean under the hood of used cars.

PimpinInAvalon · 06-24-2005, 12:40 PM

cool...what chris isnt doing his gp up now? i miss my GTP. i heard the new owner totalled the car. damn fool. i just wish i woulda taken those new rims off of it first..or at least find out where they are at and get them back...$1000 in just the wheels alone hurts....not including the graphics, and everything else...oh well. congrats on both purchases.give me a call 215 350 5906 (cell) GREGG
